Join us for a Pulitzer Prize winning play about Presidential politics! Not Clinton, not McCain, not Obama: GRANT MATTHEWS is running for president!
Although written in 1946, the play's themes of ambition, moral character, political corruption, "dirty tricks," and crises of conscience could have been lifted from a political blog written today.
State of the Union delivers a spellbinding look at back room politics. In this presidential year of brokered conventions and come-from-behind candidates, State of the Union is a timely reminder of what it takes to be president and what we expect from our leaders. The notion of an idealistic and honest "outsider" giving the corrupt "insiders" their comeuppance is a powerful theme in American politics. Add the journalist as power broker and you have a clear portrayal of the pitfalls of running for office.
Be sure to check out the State of the Union website in addition to the information provided on this page and the links to downloadable forms. Don't overlook the advertising & sponsorship opportunities!
